UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Decisions Announced Yesterday-Validity
of the Driven Well Patent.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The United States
Supreme Court briefly announced decisions
to-day in about twenty cases, and then ad-
1ourned until Friday. Leading counsel in
the telephone cases were present, but de-
cision in those cases was not rendered.
Among the cases of general interest were
the following:
Andrews and others. Appeal from the
United States Circuit Court for the District
of Connecticut. The controversy in this
case relates to the validity of what is known
as "the driven-well patent" The import
ance of this litigation, and the extent to
which the people of the country are inter
ested, is shown by the fact that the number
of driven-wells In the United States is some
where between 100000 and ], ,000, 900. The
court holds. (frst), that the grounds upon
which it is sought to invalidate the re-
Issued patent for the driven wells as being
for different invention from that descri bed
ID the original patent, can not be sustained !
(second) IEat the invention had not been
anticipated by others and, (thirdh that
there is q clear case OF infringement. The
validity of re-issued patent No. 4,372 issued
to Nelson w. Green is therefore sustained
and the decree of the Circuit Court affirmed.
Opinion by Justice Matthews.
No. 1920. A. 7. Beedle against Frank o
Bennett and others. Appeal from the
United States Circuit Court for the North
District of Ohio. This is also driven well
patent case. Upon the groun DIS set forth in
the opinion in the preceding case the val
idity of the patent is sustained and the ap
pellant held liable for infringement. The
effect of the decision in these two cases is
20 render all uses of driven wells not
authorized under the Green patent liable
to damages for infringement. .
No. 136. The Sun Mutual Insurance
Company, of New York, and Others against
the Kountz Kline Yeager Transportation
Company, the KountZ Transportation
Company, and the Moore Transportation
Company. Appeal from the United State:
Circuit Court for the Eastern District oi
Louisiana. This was suit to recover the
value of a cargo of produce lost by the
sinking of the steamer Henry G. Yeager
in the Mississippi River below st. Louis, in
May 1880. The court holds that upon the
finding of the facts the four transportation
companies were jointly liable for the los!
of the produce of the steamer Yeager, and
that the Circuit Court erred in not so hold
ing. Its decision is therefore reversed
Opinion by Justice Harlan.

LABOR TROUBLES IN CHICAGO.
The Card of Principles Formulated by the
Contractors Radically Modified.

II
Contractors Radically Modified.
CHICAGO, May 23-The four members of
the National Association of Builders who
are in this city, for the purpose OF inquir-
ing into the present labor troubles, and, If
possible, end the matter in manner salts
factory to all parties, began their
labors this afternoon. The de-
mand that every workman in the
building trades of Chicago sign a card of
principles formulated by the employers
was radically modified. Only an assent"
to the principles viii be required. By this
action the most salient feature of the
building contractors fight was virtually
amended out of existence and the proposed
attempt to make so, 600 workmen individ-
ually subscribe in writing to their
employers code has been aban-
doned. The amending was done at
a meeting of the Building Interests Coun-
Gil. Among those present at the meeting
were the five members Of the Executive
Board of the National Association of
Builders. After the troubles leading up to
the present crisis had been related for the
information of the board, the regular
business of the council was taken up.
The committee of five appointed to prepare
an address to the public was called upon to
report. The members asked for further
time. They stated that the trouble here
would affect other cities, so the greatest
care must be taken. Accordingly, re-
port from the committee was postponed
some minor amendments to the code OF
principles were proposed.
Mr.. Maver objected to any change, as
the master carpenters had passed upon and
adopted the code.
Mr.. Dempsey said that the master masons
had not and probably would not accept
the code, and they did not think the clause
of requiring the signature OF each work
man could be carried into effect, especially
IN those trades where no disturbance now
existed.
The chairman called the roll of trades to
ascertain their attitude regarding the sig
nature idea. A majority of the replies
were either evasive or were distinctly op-
posed to an attempt at forcing the employees
10 sign. Several suggested that the word
signature be stricken out and the word
"assent" substituted.
Mr.. Sayward, of the National Board.
made an address to the meeting. He said
il was not worth while to waste
time over the words assent and
signature" The assent, however, must
come or they could not conduct
their business. They must stand as Amer
lean citizens, for the whole of the civil
lied world was looking to see what Chi
csgo was going to do with the old man OF
the see. They must stand by the princi
pies they had adopted, for these principles
were the embodiment of the individual
liberty that makes life dear.
After Mr.. Eaywards' address some verbal
changes were made in the code, but the
sense remained unchanged, except that the
word assent took the place of sigma
ture," and in place of the word pledge
the words "by accepting employment
sgree." The result is that instead OF re
| quiripg a written pledge from each work
man, the employers content themselve
with tacit understanding.

O'Brfen Starts for Hamilton.
NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, May 23.-Mr.
O'BIien did not leave his bed to-day until
IL O'Clock, and then he was so weak as to
be almost unable to stand. He had to be
assisted in dressing by Dennis Kilbride.
DR.. w. R. Campbell told Mr.. O'Brien posi-
lively that he was unfit to leave his bed,
much less to start out on journey to
Hamilton, but the latter was as firm as
rock. 81 will CO." he said, "they expect
me, and have arranged to go and can not
disappoint my friends" He left by the
1850 train which arrives at Hsmilton at
3p. m. The meeting will not, as has been
stated, be held during the day, but will
take place at night, something which Mr..
O'Brien says he does not understand.
Toronto is not more than forty miles
from Hamilton, and it is reported to-day
that bodies of Orangemen are going to
make descent from the larger city upcn
Hamilton and Join the local Orangemen in
making an attack upon Mr.. O'Brien's life.
The Nationalists will be organized this
time, and Mr.. OBrien approves the idea
that they should be, and that outside aid
should be sent to Hamilton, which Will
probably be done by friends in Buffalo and
other Irish centers.
Mr.. 0'Brien said to-day to an Associated
Press representative: IF any attack be
made upon me in Hamilton TIE police
have not a shadow or shade of excuse.
The Canadian Government has now re-
ceived full warning-thaL is to say If there
be Canadian Government at all, which l
doubted several times owing to the i'm
punity with which the murderous attacks
were made upon US. II anything happens
now they can not, as l have already said, put
forward any such excuse IS the lying one
by Mayor Rowland, of Toronto, that the
attack was unexpected, and that ten min
utes had only elapsed between my exit
from and my return to the hotel, when as
a matter of tact left the hotel at $50 p.
m, and was unable to venture to steal
back until near midnight"

A New Revolver.

A new revolver just brought out by
a well.known Springfield Mass firm
is thus described: It's main feature is
a concealed hammer, which, instead of
being at the top of the barrel, is en-.
closed in the lock frame. It is we'll
known to those familiar with the sub
ject, that most of the accidents with
revolvers arise from the unintention-
al manipulation ofthe hammer; either
it receives a blow, or it is allowed to
slip off the thumb in cooking, or it is
caught against the clothing and par
italy lifted, when it is at full cock.
The only other fruitful source of acct.
dent is the unipteptional pulling of the
trigger. These liabilities have been
made impossibilities in the new ham.
merless revolver. As the hammer is
concealed, there is no danger Of it's
catching on to any portion Of the
clothing and no external force can be
applied to it. The trigger is SO ar.
ranged that it cannot be pulled except
by previously pressing q safety lever
in therear of the lock frame. Perhaps
no point in the mechanism Of the pis-
toll is more important than this. To
be fired the pistol must be held in the
hand; it will not Ego OFF, OF itself.
The average child OF ten years has not
''reach" enough to press the lever and
the trigger unless both hands aroused;
80 one occasion OF much anxiety and
danger is done away with. At present
only 38-calibre revolvers have been
made, but work will soon begin on 50
and A calibre pistols.
